Indeed it is ... I caught the end of one of the Supercross races in late January (Anaheim?) and the kid wearing the Torco gear specifically thanked Evan Knoll in his interview and wished him a speedy recovery.

Not just picking on you, Larry..but:

I'm not looking forward to another year of Page bashing. I don't mind the guy at all. I guess I just pay attention to the racing and don't really care. I like Mike..and I can even tolerate Paul..but Gary's interviews wank me out more than Page's babbling.

I'm just thankful that we have the coverage we do..but lots of people on here feel the need to criticize..human nature I guess. I remember when Marty was bashed as well. And Mike was slammed in the beginning.

This Torco deal is just like a big scab..........we know we should just leave it alone and let it heal........but we just can't quit picking at it

Must come from being 'around' Seattle... I was born there, guess that's why rain doesn't bother me, but obnoxious questions do.

I can put up with clueless and tongue tied, but 'how do you feel' makes the questioner look like an idiot, and gives no credit to the viewer.

"Gee Gary, I fell asleep at the line, made the quickest run in history, and got beat by a car that broke at 800 feet. Life is Great!"

"You know Gary, My car just burned to the ground, I ran into both walls and now I've got to explain to the crew and the car owner why I didn't lift when I say a small flash in the fire windows after I peddled the car for the third time. We'll do better tomorrow"

"I just won my First National Event after 20 years of trying. Think I'll take the crew to Jack-in-the-Box to celebrate."

"How The F*** do you think I Feel?"

I do beleve I herd JR say after the Torco deal went down that they where under a contract with them. No hand shake.

i don't tthink forrest got lucas oil to where it is today by "shake of hand deals"

Looks to me like the only agreements that Mr. Knoll has bothered to honor are the ones that involve a valid, professional contract, including the title-rights sponsorship to a couple of NHRA national events. Can you imagine if he would have told the NHRA he wanted to back out? They would have chewed him up and spit him out.

I don't know for sure but I'll be you are correct that contracts were honored and handshakes were dropped.

As far as Pagie goes he's alright but he's known for a few mistakes here and there just like all of us or at least ME!
